The canton of Roubaix-Est was created in 1867, by dividing the former canton of Roubaix. After the cantonal reorganisation of 2014, Roubaix-Est, along with Roubaix-Centre, Roubaix-Nord and Roubaix-Ouest, merged and split again to become the cantons of Roubaix-1 and Roubaix-2.{{Cite Legifrance|date=2014-02-17|title=Décret n° 2014-167 du 17 février 2014 portant délimitation des cantons dans le département du Nord|url=|base=JORF|number=INTA1331891D}}
